To be honest, I don't really want Galaxy 3 unless it goes absolutely insane with concepts.I also enjoyed SM3DL and SM3DW alot, but we need another Galaxy game urgently!
At this point I'd rather see Super Mario 3D World 2 in the same style as Super Mario Bros. 2. Bring back Subcon, with all of those classic enemies like Shy Guy, Snifit, Ninji, Phanto, Birdo, Mouser, etc. I think that would be really refreshing.
Or make a new platformer that takes notes from the Mario RPGs or other games within the franchise in general. Set it in a world different from the Mushroom Kingdom (but not necessarily in the stars either, like Galaxy) and even do things like make Bowser's minions playable against a new foe.
They could bring back a mix of non-linear ("platforming playground") and linear level designs. Think about jumping around all sorts of sewers, Toad villages, and castles that feel like they're actually attached to a world rather than just being a giant floating area in outer space.
The Galaxy formula allows for all sorts of creativity. Those two games are amazing. But, Ninty can branch out and do new things, taking inspiration from other areas within the Mario franchise. I'm interested to see where they take the next game and if it'll be somewhat safe or more on the experimental side.
